Sooooooo Left Guard at #24


Soul Rebel

Recommended Posts

Not spending FA money on the position and the team has stated that they want Moton as a tackle. We have a gaping hole at LG that is only worsened when you look who is standing to the left of this position. Compound that with the other Kalil having a hard time staying healthy and in his final year. 

I really like Justin Reid, but not Harrison and it will cost too much to trade up for James.  However, Deshon Elliott and Marcus Allen are my two draft crushes, with Elliott being a beast that we can grab in R2. 

With the Torrey Smith signing, we still need a WR2 but have promising youngsters in Samuel and Byrd. I like DJ Moore if Ridley isn't available, but nobody else at 24. Not sold on Sutton or Kirk at 24, but would prefer someone like ESB or Miller later than using a first on a WR. Honestly, a trade for Martavis, Corey Coleman or maybe Jermaine Kearse would make me happier.

Sooooooo, that brings us to LG. We need one, and badly. #NotSilatolu

Will Hernandez, Isaiah Wynn or Billy Price at 24? I think Hernandez is a beast and a plug-and-play LG from day one and has All-Pro written all over him. Wynn and Price can also start day one, though I prefer Hernandez' trajectory.  Price would offer us flexibility to slide over to center too if need be in 2019. 

It ain't sexy, but LG makes a ton of sense right now.

I'd take any of those and be happy.

Good points.. I still see Reid and Moore as our true targets now but a LG/C could be the pick..

I’d be thrilled with Price. Day-one starter this year at guard, and a possible replacement for Kalil next season. 

I'm a little weary after he tore his pec bench pressing at the combine. If he fell to us in the 2nd because of it I believe it's a no brainer. But drafting him in the first knowing he will miss a lot of the summer practice time is risky.

Free agency has been open for about 2 hours now and we have not signed a guard so we must be drafting one?  Maybe, but it's still over a month until the draft and there are alot of guards still in free agency so wait and see I think is a better answer now.

    • Its worse because the NFL would never allow all the teams to join the NFC East or something.  There's a firm divisional structure with a salary cap to make it competitive.
    • Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile): K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20). WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike. LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday. LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks. WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday. OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today. During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past). Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right). Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field. Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday. Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.
    • Most things that made it good are already dead, imo. The transfer portal combined with the money makes it all a complete joke. There’s no longer any sense of school pride, at least for me. If my team does well it is in large part because they paid better guys than the next team. When I went to college, I had some basketball players living in the same apartments and they’d show up to parties sometimes. You’d see guys around and they were just normal broke college kids like you. There was comraderie and pride that these guys saw the same school you loved and wanted to be there just like you. All of that is gone. It’s pro sports now, but worse. The players aren’t there long enough to feel like you know the team. No connection, just bragging rights over who has the largest and most affluent donor base.
